“He is too radical,” Zelensky said in the interview, released Sunday, of Vance.
In the interview, Zelensky said Vance’s “message seems to be that Ukraine must make a sacrifice.”
“The idea that the world should end this war at Ukraine’s expense is unacceptable,” the Ukrainian president continued.
“Let Mr. Vance read up on the history of the Second World War, when a country was forced to give part of its territory to one particular person,” Zelensky said.

“Mr President, I speak not only as a Briton, as a Londoner, and as a foreign secretary".
“But I say to the Russian representative, on his phone as I speak, that I stand here also as a Black man whose ancestors were taken in chains from Africa, at the barrel of a gun to be enslaved, whose ancestors rose up and fought in a great rebellion of the enslaved.
“Imperialism: I know it when I see it. And I will call it out for what it is,” Lammy said.

It all started anew with them."

Trump mocks President Zelensky “Every time he comes into the country he walks away with $60 billion dollars" and says he’ll immediately end the war if he wins:
“I’ll call up Zelensky & President Putin”
(Notice he only refers to Putin as “president”)
Also: Since the US total military aid contribution has been 100 billion, the claim about President Zelensky getting "60 billion" every time is also false.
